Perhaps, the most common reason to seek dental care is pain in one or more teeth. While sudden discomfort could occur for a number of reasons, including sinus concerns or changes in elevation, one that persists for more than a day could mean trouble. For instance, a lasting toothache could be caused by tooth decay, the early stages of a dental infection, or as a result of weakened enamel due to teeth grinding and clenching. When you have an aching tooth, you probably need a tooth-filling. Doctors Network can help connect you to a dentist in the Metlakatla, AK community who takes Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield!


When the dental professional examines your teeth, imaging technology is used to assess the cause and extent of the cavity. then, the appropriate treatment option is chosen. For kids and adults alike, a tooth-filling made from a composite resin could bring relief. A crown could also be used to treat more severe cases. If possible, the dentist will take steps to use more lifelike options, so they offer a natural appearance.

Adults are not the only ones who benefit from regular dental care. Children require routine checkups and cleanings as well, and they need to be monitored by a dentist for issues like tooth decay. This could include dental malocclusion, or for teens, the arrival of wisdom teeth. If you need to find a family dentist in Metlakatla, AK with experience providing pediatric dental care, then Doctors Network is ready to help you.


Routine examinations should begin as early as age two, and should not be skipped. These visits enable your Metlakatla pediatric dentist to watch the smile over time, and if areas of concern develop, such as tooth decay, or gingivitis, then treatment can be administered. In addition, children can often receive preventive fluoride treatments to strengthen the outer enamel of their teeth and prevent tooth cavities. Sealants, which coat the hard-to-reach rear teeth, can lower the risk of cavities too. In fact, these protective sealants can last as long as ten years in some cases.


If you are searching for Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield dentists in Metlakatla who can offer care for kids, let us know. We want to help you find affordable dental care. With routine care children not only can enjoy healthy and strong smiles, but they also understand the importance of regular care. Good oral health habits can start them on the path to a lifetime of healthy smiles. All of it starts with that first consultation.

We have reached the time of the year when children and adults alike will be getting active. While we hope everyone has a great time, we know that their teeth could be at risk. In some situations, especially with full contact sports, teeth could become cracked or chipped, and when dental trauma occurs, you need emergency treatment. Even minor damages could lead to an increased risk of tooth decay. Doctors Network can help you book an appointment with a dental professional for dental emergencies in Metlakatla, AK who can examine the situation.


The outside of each tooth provides protection against tooth decay. The enamel protects the sensitive inner structures from bacteria, and from the onset of tooth decay. But when a tooth is broken, this could lead to painful symptoms. You need treatment to safeguard your smile. Likewise, you should let us know if you need a Metlakatla dentist who accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield for less severe emergencies. Sudden toothaches and objects caught between the teeth could threaten your smile. Don’t forget that knocked out teeth are causes for concern as well. You also need care if a crown or filling comes loose!


Once you contact Doctors Network and begin looking for your Metlakatla, AK dentist, take steps to avoid complications by taking a store bought pain medication. A piece of cloth or a tea bag can be helpful also. Using an ice pack can ease facial swelling too. If a tooth is damaged or knocked loose, recover the tooth or any pieces and bring them with you to the office. They can be placed in a glass of cold milk or salt water.

When the season changes, people start going out more and enjoying the beautiful weather, and of course, we want our smiles to shine when we socialize, which is why many people seek cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures designed to fight teeth stains. Teeth stains can be removed, and even misalignment can be corrected. At Doctors Network, we understand the value of a stunning smile. We want to help connect you to Metlakatla cosmetic dentists who take on patients who have Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and can offer the range of treatment needed to achieve optimal smile beauty.


You can start cosmetic treatments with a consultation with your dentist in Metlakatla, AK. The doctor will carefully examine your smile. Using digital x-rays for a precise diagnosis, the dentist will assess the cause of your esthetic concerns in order to come up with a personalized treatment plan. For stains, professional teeth whitening could brighten smiles by several shades. Dental bonding and contouring can repair teeth and mask imperfections in one visit. Gum contouring employs dental lasers to reshape the gum line and protect your periodontal health. Porcelain veneers are cosmetic restorations that change a tooth’s shape and color, and for those with major misalignment, Invisalign® may be possible.


If you don’t have a dentist in the Metlakatla, AK area, we can help! Visit Doctors Network to find a provider in your area who accepts patients with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. We want to help you obtain a smile that makes you feel great!

When a tooth becomes abscessed, treatment is necessary. Lack of treatment means the tooth could become necrotic. At this stage, the tooth may require extraction. Otherwise, the infection moves into other parts of the smile. Often, the ideal treatment for an infected tooth is an endodontic treatment. The procedure is effective, but sometimes a tooth becomes infected again and requires additional care. You may need to see one of our great Metlakatla dentists for further treatments.


Root canal treatment involves removing the tissues from the tooth’s interior. The interiors and root canals are thoroughly cleaned, and a restorative material known as gutta percha is then administered. Usually, the tooth is then capped with a full restoration. The restoration is often custom-made to protect the tooth and also look natural. But if there are complications with the procedure, the health of the tooth could be questionable. The tooth could begin developing symptoms, such as toothaches and pain when eating. If you experience discomfort, do not risk the loss of your teeth. Doctors Network can help you find an emergency dental services provider in Metlakatla, AK that can offer another root canal and accepts Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.


If you don’t have dental coverage don’t let that discourage you! Doctors Network can offer a membership plan to make your treatment fit your budget. With a simple monthly rate, you can obtain a root canal retreatment without breaking the bank!

Oral health declines when we lose natural teeth. Obviously, there are problems with eating your favorite foods. Even clear speech could be a problem. However, the major problem is the break down of density in the jaw. This weakens the jaw, and could even cause a prematurely aged appearance. More importantly, this limits dental implant placement. Additional treatments could be necessary to strengthen the jaw in order to make dental implant placement possible! Fortunately, Doctors Network could link you to a good Metlakatla oral and maxillofacial surgeon who is in-network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and provides this care. In addition, we could also discuss our membership program to make care affordable!


Bone grafting is also referred to as ridge augmentation. Essentially this enables the dentist to preserve the ridge in your gums. Your dentist could use a number of different options. Tissue could be taken from the back of the jaw or the hip. Donor materials such as bovine bone particles may be recommended too. We could also recommend synthetic materials. In a surgical procedure, these are applied to the areas of weakened structure in the lower jaw.


Once the area heals, one or more dental implants could be placed. The body will accept them as natural roots. As a result, they help prevent any further breakdown in the jaw, protecting facial structure. Our team can connect you to a dentist or oral surgeon in Metlakatla, AK who offers this surgical procedure, and also let you know about our dental plan to make sure your treatment fits in your budget!

It was so easy to find a doctor and make an appointment. I didn't have to take hours to call different offices and find out who takes my insurance and who doesn't.

I'm a freelancer, so I can't buy insurance easily, so I always ended up paying a lot for doctors' visits. I signed up for a Doctors Network dental plan, and my dental cleanings cost only $25 now. If you don't have dental insurance I highly recommend it.
